Craven will send information on making a resolution to Dr. Lemley. B. Short indicated that the deadline for resolution submissions had passed, but that a submitting a late resolution is a possibility. Another option would be to further discuss the issue with Dr. Bradley, chair of the Commission on MR and coordinate a survey for a future resolution.
